Design Practice 1: One Shot Film: 2nd Edit

So, I was very satisfied with the group edit we produced, but to show that I am able to go back to a project and refine through an iterative process I have produced a individual edit.

My new version is called 'Chalk Nightmare', It works on basis that the story of the girls parent breaking up remains but she is recalling the events through a nightmare. The shot is reversed to indicate that the more recent memory's are being recalled first and the earlier ones last. To reinforce the idea of dream, the dip to black transition is used first to symbolise her eyes closing and the dip to white transition last to show her eyes opening. The nightmare aspect is created by lowering the brightness and gamma to create a dark and eerie atmosphere, I also changed the camera zoom and angle so the pictures is more visible and the angle creates a quirky feeling. Finally to match the mood of the lighting I change the coat from red to blue via colour changer, It fits well with the nightmare mood and blends the actor in with the shot. The music also helps with the confusion and nightmarish tone.
